On account of his super star status, Cristiano Ronaldo and not the coach will decide whether he will start tomorrow’s World Cup warm-up game against the Super Eagles.
Sky Sports will cover this match and has reported Ronaldo, who has sparked off another round of controversies surrounding his Premier League club Manchester United, will be the one to decide what role he will play in tomorrow night’s friendly.
The Portugal captain played a key role when the country landed their first Euros trophy in 2016.
And even at the grand old age of 37, the country still count on him to inspire another major success at the World Cup in Qatar.
Tomorrow’s match will be played at the home ground of Sporting Lisbon, where Ronaldo made his mark before his first coming to England.
